Attached are verbose log files from attempts to create expanded admin install
drops using the following msiexec commands.
msiexec /a "d:\temp\v10Installer\MyServiceDeliverable.msi" /qn
TARGETDIR=d:\temp\v10adminInstall /l*v d:\temp\v10adminInstall.log
msiexec /a "d:\temp\v11Installer\MyServiceDeliverable.msi" /qn
TARGETDIR=d:\temp\v11adminInstall /l*v d:\temp\v11adminInstall.log
I tested creating an admin install using a similar msiexec command against
another random server deliverable msi and it did successfully unpack all the
files and produce an uncompressed version of the msi.
Any insights on what could be in my pretty typical wix3 sources generated msi's
that would be preventing them from successfully creating the expected
admininstall output where the contained files are unpacked which is needed for
my torch patch installer related command to succeed?

Subject: [WiX-users] using torch.exe -ax to enable use of admin install msi
target and update input parameter values
The blog
http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2008/05/30/Patching-something-you-didnt-build-with-WiX-using-WiX-.aspx
outlines using torch.exe -ax switch to enable use of admin install msi target
and update input parameter values.
When I try and do that using the torch command syntax:
torch.exe -p -ax "obj\Debug\extractedAdminInstallBinaries"
"obj\Debug\v1.0adminInstall\mydeliverable.msi" "obj\Debug\v1.1adminInstall\
mydeliverable.msi" -out "obj\Debug\mydeliverable.wixmst"
I get the error "torch.exe: error TRCH0258: The file
'obj\Debug\v1.0adminInstall\mydeliverable\Databases\Database1\SQLScripts\AddSubscribers.sql'
cannot be found."
If I install either of the target or the update msi's the AddSubscribers.sql
file noted is successfully deployed so it would seem it is there.
I think this is happening because my admin install folders consist of nothing
more than the uncompressed version of the original msi. I'm just using
"msiexec /a mydeliverable.msi /qn /l*v %temp%\ mydeliverableadminInstall.log"
to generate my admin installs. Is there some switch or orca or other solution
I can used to get the required binary files expanded and included in my admin
install output?
